Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mineral extraction technology and relates to a combined anion and cation collector for aluminosilicate minerals under neutral conditions and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Anionic and cationic mixed collectors are commonly used collectors in the flotation of aluminosilicate minerals and play an irreplaceable role. However, they are used in an acidic environment with a pH of 2-3, which results in high acid treatment costs and significant environmental pressure. In addition, they are greatly affected by various factors such as temperature, water quality, and fine mud content. Under harsh flotation environments, it is difficult to maintain the stability of flotation performance, leading to a significant decrease in recovery rate and grade. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitation that traditional anion and cation collectors can only be used under acidic conditions. It improves the low-temperature resistance, mud resistance and poor adaptability of mixed collectors, enhances their flotation performance, effectively improves flotation recovery rate and grade, and reduces production costs.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A combined cationic and anionic collector for aluminosilicate minerals under neutral conditions, characterized by being composed of the following raw materials in the indicated weight ratios: 2-5 parts of vegetable oleamide fatty acid collector and 4-10 parts of tetradecyltributylphosphonium chloride; wherein the vegetable oleamide fatty acid collector is prepared by the following method: Esterification reaction was carried out with vegetable oil fatty acids with iodine value of 80-140 and pentafluorophenol. The reaction condensing agent was 2-(7-azabenzotriazole)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea hexafluorophosphate (HATU). The reaction product was extracted with dichloromethane as solvent, and the extracted product was the activated ester of fatty acid pentafluorophenol. (2) The activated ester of fatty acid pentafluorophenol reacts with sarcosine in dichloromethane. Triethylamine is added as a pH adjuster to adjust the pH to 10-12. After the reaction is complete, the mixture is poured into ice water and hydrochloric acid is added to adjust the pH to 2-4. After precipitation, the product plant oleamide fatty acid collector is obtained by filtration.
[0005] Furthermore, the fatty acids with an iodine value of 80-140 are one or a combination of rapeseed oil fatty acids, soybean oil fatty acids, peanut oil fatty acids, and sunflower seed oil fatty acids.
[0006] Furthermore, in step (1), the weight ratio of vegetable oil fatty acids, pentafluorophenol and HATU is 0.8-1.2:1-1.2:1-1.2.
[0007] Furthermore, in step (1), the esterification reaction temperature is 15-30℃ and the reaction time is 2-6h.
[0008] Furthermore, in step (2), the weight ratio of fatty acid pentafluorophenol activated ester to sarcosine is 0.8-1.2:1-1.1.
[0009] Furthermore, in step (2), the reaction temperature is 15-30℃ and the reaction time is 1-3h.
[0010] The chemical equations involved in the reaction process of this invention are as follows: The esterification equation for the reaction of fatty acids in vegetable oil with pentafluorophenol is as follows:
[0011] The reaction equation for pentafluorophenol ester and sarcosine is as follows:
[0012] A method for using a combined cationic and anionic collector for aluminosilicate minerals under neutral conditions, characterized by comprising the following steps: The magnetically separated quartz and aluminosilicate mineral mixture is mixed with water and then floated in a single-cell flotation machine. The flotation reagents are anionic collector oleamide fatty acid and cationic collector tetradecyltributylphosphonium chloride. The reagents are added separately in the same batch (to avoid direct interaction between the two reagents). After flotation, aluminosilicate mineral products and quartz mineral products are obtained.
[0013] Furthermore, the dosage of the anionic reagent is 200-500 g / t, and the dosage of the cationic reagent is 400-1000 g / t.
[0014] Furthermore, the flotation pulp concentration in the flotation machine is 20-30%, the flotation pH is 7, the stirring time is 1-3 minutes, and the skimming time is 1-3 minutes.
[0015] Furthermore, the flotation temperature is 3-30℃.
[0016] Mixed collectors are classified into anionic and cationic collectors. Anionic fatty acid collectors typically exhibit improved flotation performance but significantly decreased water solubility with increasing carbon chain length. This invention utilizes a novel vegetable oil-based amide fatty acid as the anionic reagent, employing common and inexpensive vegetable oils such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and peanut oil as raw materials. By introducing amide groups (reacting with pentafluorophenol and HATU, using dichloromethane as a solvent, extracting the active ester of the vegetable oil fatty acid, adding sarcosine for further reaction, and finally adding hydrochloric acid to crystallize the final product, the vegetable oil-based amide fatty acid), the water solubility and mud resistance of the anionic collector are enhanced. Furthermore, the improved water solubility allows for a further increase in the collector's carbon chain length, thus improving flotation performance. The cationic reagent uses tetradecyltributylphosphonium chloride. The combined use of these two reagents enables the flotation separation of quartz and aluminosilicate minerals under neutral conditions.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. It uses common and inexpensive vegetable oils such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and peanut oil as raw materials, and the preparation method is simple and the raw materials are readily available; 2. This invention uses pentafluorophenol to activate carboxyl groups and promote the formation of amide groups. The synthesized vegetable oleamide fatty acid collector has both carboxyl and amide groups, which solves the problems of low temperature resistance, mud resistance and adaptability of traditional fatty acid collectors such as oleic acid. 3. The aluminosilicate mineral anion and cation combined collector provided by this invention can be used in a neutral environment and has better flotation performance than traditional fatty acid collectors such as oleic acid plus dodecylamine, which can effectively improve flotation recovery rate and grade.
